The formal recruitment process is a nationally mandated process by the National Panhellenic Conference (NPC). The primary recruitment process for these organizations is for the fall semester just prior to the beginning of the semester. Information for this process is updated during the summer months. Letters of recommendation are not required for the recruitment process.

The number of membership opportunities are limited as per the NPC process for the spring. Should chapters have opportunities available during the spring semester they will host events for any unaffiliated women.
